In released builds : The association will be moved to inactive, and data will be displayed in the Maintenance details page.

    • If a field in a criteria is not present in the template, the criteria will pass. Eg: When a service additional field with criteria None (or) empty is configured, that particular criteria will behave as below for Incident requests.

  • SD-125024 : After migration, all environments with Analytics Plus integration will have their Requests custom field data moved to new tables in the Analytics Plus workspace. Using the new table schema, you can either generate new reports or update the Requests custom fields and retain data consistency in the already generated reports. The new table schema details will be available at: sdp-home\zreports\<helpdeskid>\RequestUDFMIgration.json.

For any queries or assistance, please write to analyticsplus-support@manageengine.com
